Impact

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability was identified in Next.js Server Actions by security researchers at Assetnote. If the Host header is modified, and the below conditions are also met, an attacker may be able to make requests that appear to be originating from the Next.js application server itself.

Prerequisites

• Next.js (<14.1.1) is running in a self-hosted* manner.
• The Next.js application makes use of Server Actions.
• The Server Action performs a redirect to a relative path which starts with a /.

* Many hosting providers (including Vercel) route requests based on the Host header, so we do not believe that this vulnerability affects any Next.js applications where routing is done in this manner.

Patches

This vulnerability was patched in #62561 and fixed in Next.js 14.1.1.

Workarounds

There are no official workarounds for this vulnerability. We recommend upgrading to Next.js 14.1.1.
